Another fanart of And Then We Danced / და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ (2019) dir. Levan Akin

I wanted the film to be tender, and a warm embrace, and I really, really wanted it to be about love. For me, it was important that the character of Merab never really has this moment of, ‘Oh no, I’m gay, what am I going to do?’ I just wanted him to be engulfed by love, the feeling of first love and all those emotions. Levan Akin

in sun to dapple us tan and gold,

with heavy hearts in heavy coats.

and I'm too tired to even talk,

so fix yourself with a boxing glove

and wake me up when she wakes up

[There Is No-One Who Can Tell You Where You’ve Been - Butcher Boy]

to whichever oc:s u feel they would be the most fun/fitting for☀️

Ohohooo!!! Because I do have so many brain worms about different ocs, it was hard to choose, but I decided to go with my two Knight & Jester duo Irakli and Ilves ! (Ilves is the freckled elf, and Irakli the bearded man.)

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

Ilves: Ilves is very strict about how his food is prepared and prefers to make it himself. If he however trusts someone to cook for him, he still needs to watch as the food is being made. This due past trauma, and gladly people near him are understanding. To strangers it can seem a bit rude however, when he outright refuses any kinds of free samples.

Irakli: Irakli has a nervous habit of plucking his feathers and of making swan noises, even in his human form.

SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

Ilves: He has saved all the birthday gifts he ever got from his mom and dad! These include a lot of jingle bells and a small, ceramic sheep. They are his treasures. In the story, Ilves gets framed for a murder he did not commit, so his two best friends are left with most of his stuff. He did request if he could hold the sheep during his execution, but was not allowed to. Jacob and Kuukkeli still hold on to Ilves's treasures, even when they don't know if he's still alive or not, after being stolen away by a masked stranger during a public hanging.

Irakli: Irakli's childhood was not as idyllic as Ilves's, but there are still objects he cariies near and dear to their heart. Irakli became a battlemaster's apprentice when he was very young. And to his first practise he got a knight doll, with a small sword you could take out of the doll's hand. While the doll itself is at his parent's place, Irakli still has the small, tiny sword on his breastpocket as a good luck charm.

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

Ilves: Ilves is pretty good at keeping secrets. What he will not shut about however is theater and theater masks. While he is a jester to the queen's court, he did very much dream of becoming a "proper" actor one day. He reads every play he gets his lil elf hands on.

Irakli: Irakli will not shut up about their horse Dule. Dule is the best horse around and she deserves all the treats in the world

✂️ SCISSORS - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

Ilves: Ilves literally only cut out his relationship with princess Peura after he got framed for the murder by her. It takes a lot for him to cut you out.

Irakli: Irakli would like to be everyone's friend, but he also knows how to set boundries. For him the last straw is someone talking bad of their friends without a reason, or not respecting Irakli's knighthood.

🎀 RIBBON - how would they fit into other worlds / aus? what aus would you like to try out? what fictional world would they fit / not fit into?

I rarely do AU's for my own ocs, but for them I have a modern au and a warrior cats au.

Ilves: In Modern Au Ilves works with Kuukkeli and Jacob in a party store, one that sells party hats and other fun things. He is also a part in the local theater group. The job at the shop does not pay the best, so he does run an onlyfans on the side. Would Ilves still be framed for muder in this au? I have not decided yet.

In warrior cats au Ilves would be called Lynxear :3 He'd be a silly lanky kittycat.

Irakli: In Modern Au Irakli is studying history in the university with special interest in medieval armors and horses (and horses in armours). He does dream of becoming a museum director in the future. Outside of school, he has hobbies like fencing and boxing and cooking. Ilves comes to watch one his fencing matches with Kuukkeli and they meet for the first time.

In warriors AU I think Irakli would be a deputy and his warrior name would be Swanclaw (obviously)

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?

Ilves: You can be loved by people sincerely, you know?

Irakli: You don't need to prove your worth. You have worth no matter what you do.

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

Ilves and Irakli would both pull the lever to save more people.

🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?

Ilves: You don't need to be friends with all your brothers.

Irakli: Go outside, see the sun. Make as many good memories as you can, you'll need them in the future.

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

Ilves: Ilves really loves his friend Kuukkeli's cat Kepponen. Whenever he is nervous, or feeling anxious and Kuukkeli happens to be there, she'll throw Kepponen at him.

Irakli: After Ilves loses his ears and tail, Irakli makes a lot of effort to learn how to read his bodylanguage and expressions better. They also love cooking with Ilves hugging them from behind, so he can stay close and also look at how the food is made.

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

Ilves: Physical touch. Hugs, kisses, petting, sex. He loves it all. But also he gets so much comfort from words of affrimation.

Irakli: Food, Hugs, someone brushing his hair. Reading letters

💌 LOVE LETTER - do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

For like two years, most of their communications was by letters. While this time was hard for them both, getting love letters from eachother was a small, important solace. Nowadays they both still like to leave small messages to eachother around their little house, just as reminders of how much they love eachother.

“Luka said you were a fairy, I had to protect your honour. So… did I get a beating in vain?”

“Maybe.”

“You’ve always been better than me Merab, I don’t care what father says. I’ll end up being a drunk Georgian working for his father in law, but I don’t mind. You have to get out of Georgia, Merab, you have no future here.”
